Arsene Wenger rested some key men for this afternoon's game against Brighton in the Premier League.

With Thursday night's crucial Europa League last 16 tie against AC Milan looming large, the Arsenal boss decided to leave out Aaron Ramsey, Hector Bellerin and Danny Welbeck at the AMEX.

It's the first time Bellerin has missed a minute of Premier League football this weekend, while Welbeck will lead the line at the San Siro due to Alexandre Lacazette's injury and Pierre Emerick-Aubameyang being ineligible to play in the Europa League.

The decision to leave out Ramsey is the one that has got everyone talking, however, with some conspiracy theories online suggesting it could be because the Wales international was the player who leaked details of a training ground meeting to the press.

But Wenger has revealed exactly why Ramsey has been left at home, as well as giving updates on both Welbeck and Bellerin.
